Absolutely! The SC is a very nice simple set up and provides a good top end. The turbo changes the car altogether. The turbo I am using comes in very early and is an absolute blast.
It makes sense that if you have a budget and are worried about resale the SCs are a nice option. But if you want a major upgrade, can afford the cost, and are not concerned about extensively modifying the car then turbo is the way to go.
Either SC fits RHD with minimal modification. The only US kit I can recommend is the LoveFab as it will fit with only minor changes to the IC piping. But of course there are also local custom set ups or JDM solutions.

Although not "necessary" the aftercooler is designed to lower intake temperature.
Supercharger kits are currently only these two manufacturers.
www.comptechusa.com
www.vortechsuperchargers.com
You can either order directly from them in the US, work out all shipping and import duties etc or use a local vendor to do that for you.
One local vendor/importer is www.capa.com.au which deal with the Vortech kit.

You don't need an aftercooler if you have an intercooler but as neither kit comes with an intercooler and nor does the car then I would assume you don't have one. And whereas you could install one it is not advisable with the SC as we are working with low boost and want as short a charge path as possible.
